Drips & Drops
Place fizzy paint tablets on your paper. Using the water
dropper, drip a few drops of water on the tablets. Use your
paint brush to grab color from the tablets and make
designs with your colors.
Mix & Make Watercolors
Designs
Use your white crayon to draw on the paper. Wherever
you draw will protect the paper from your paint. This is
called a “resist”. After drawing, spritz your paper with
water then add fizzy paint powder.
When dry, add more designs and drawings with the
markers or black crayon.
Finishing
1.) When your art is complete and fully dry, place a sticky
square on each corner of the front of your paper.
2.) Hold a frame over the art and place on top of the sticky
squares when it looks centered.
Did you know
that painting has been around for a very
long time? Evidence of painting has been found from thousands
of years ago. The oldest paintings have been found across the
world in numerous caves. People would grind up different colors
of dirt and minerals from the earth and paint with them. Most
paint is made from just a few materials: a pigment which gives
paint color, a binder which holds the color to the surface being
painted, any additives that may enhance the paint consistency and
a solvent which is used to thin the paint and apply to a surface.
In this kit you’ll have an opportunity to create your own paint
and colors using our special fizzy paints! Have you ever seen
paint bubble and fizz? Just add water to these fizzy paint tablets
and see what happens!
CAUTION: Do not eat the paint tablets.
Important Information about the Paint Tablets
3.) Flip over and place a plastic hanger in the center of the
top of your art so it’s able to hang.
• The paint tablets included are non-toxic, watercolor paints
that may stain porous surfaces or textiles so be careful!
Enjoy this unique and fun way to mix and make color!
• Cover your work surface and wear a smock or old clothes.
Clean up any spills immediately while the paint is still wet.

Watercolor paper has a bumpy texture
and will absorb your paint a little
more than the art paper. Art paper has a
smooth surface and allows your paint to
move and run freely.

Fizzy paints are small solid tablets of color.
When water is added, they start to bubble
and fizz! Although the tablet may look
purple, when you add water it will turn
red, the orange will turn yellow, and the
blue will stay blue.

about 3/4ths of the way full.
